CMS calculations of Graduate Medical Education and Medicare-Dependent Hospital Program Requests for Community Project Funding and Congressional Earmarks for Workforce Development Program Requests to not cut CMS Reimbursement for Physicians and Hospitals
HR 2433 - Fairness for Rural Teaching Hospitals Act of 2023: the goal of this bill is to fix a CMS calculation error that causes teaching hospitals that are also Medicare Dependent Hospitals (MDH) to not receive full funding under both programs. This effectively disincentivizes certain hospitals from having Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs.
